Chapters 18 and 19:
God's Work in Ephesus
New look! Same great teachings! Written as a letter by the Apostle
Paul to Christians, Romans is considered a manifesto of freedom through
Jesus Christ. Paul lays out a radical message of acceptance solely by
God's grace rather than through our good works. Watch the RealMedia
teachings by Dennis McCallum, or view Gary
DeLashmutt's teaching outlines.

uncover the barriers that hinder their spiritual and emotional maturity. Patterns
of sinful behaviors, conflict, defensiveness, and self-protection developed in
the past can affect relational maturity in the present. Learn
how you can meet with a Xenos Pastoral Counselor. Updated
March, 2003 "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes
on you; You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to
the ends of the earth." (Acts 1:8). Throughout the book of Acts we see
this command of Christ carried out-first through the Apostles, then the early
Jewish converts, and finally through Paul and his disciples. Acts describes
the spread of the Gospel, starting from Jerusalem, and going to Samaria and
throughout the entire Roman empire. And while the Gospel and its messengers face
many obstacles on its route, nothing is able to hinder the message because of
the One who empowers it. The story of Acts is not a story of individuals,
but a story of the gospel message carried out by many people depending on the
power of the Holy Spirit. Listen or download teachings from your choice of teachers,

3: Persecution in the Early Church Our existence is no accident. Our life has
a meaning. For most of us, it isn't what we think it is. God “created us
for a reason—a purpose. What is that
purpose? How do we know God's reason
is authentic? Can we clearly understand that reason? How can I live a truly
purpose-centered life? Writing from prison in Rome, the Apostle Paul
explains God's eternal plan. This study of Ephesians explores why he created you
and how your life fits into the eternal fabric of his plan for the ages. New

November, 2002 The
Book of Revelation. People either becoming obsessed with end times scenarios
or ignoring the book entirely. But is this all that the Revelation of John has
to say to us? This look at Revelation will draw out lessons for daily living from
this important book of the Bible. For many, it is the most–neglected New
Testament book, and yet it speaks to: questions about God’s justice in an
unjust world; God’s sovereignty; suffering for the sake of Christ; spiritual
warfare; and how to live in the age between the first and second coming of Christ.
